Neutral Milk Hotel Members Reunite, Jeff Mangum Adds Solo Dates

Neutral Milk Hotel visionary Jeff Mangum is currently in the midst of his first tour in over ten years. The elusive songwriter started to retreat from the spotlight after the release of 1998’s seminal indie rock album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and only played Neutral Milk Hotel songs live a handful of times until last year. In early 2010, Mangum played a five-song set at New York’s Le Poisson Rouge at a Chris Knox benefit and this past December he played a stealth set in a Brooklyn loft. Mangum returned to the stage earlier this fall for a series of solo shows, including sets at Asbury Park, NJ’s All Tomorrow’s Parties and New York’s Town Hall.
